I'm wondering why parent doesn't have it.
I remember we have explicit patches in the past for buses such as PCI and AMBA
to set default DMA mask for all physical devices on the respective bus, of
course they can individually override it later.

So, this seems to me a paper over the real issue (absence of default DMA mask
where it's needed) and devices should explicitly define it if they disagree
with default.

If I'm wrong, you really need elaborate commit message much better.
